00:00:00
Telling you I've seen like
this movie the last flight to
00:00:03
a Blue Jet on their engine virgin margarita
I mean they trailers you see the
00:00:09
trailers on You Tube you like wait
00:00:10
a minute this is not level production
out here yeah I saw the trailer.
00:00:17
He was yeah I think it's an incredible
movie. Understanding the movie industry now
00:00:24
people are really understanding it again
yes I'm showing the real vibrancy of
00:00:30
Africa because the story of Africa has
be has to be told by Africans themselves
00:00:34
better right yeah. Have you
know my most intriguing movies
00:00:41
now are these villages. I
love and the dressing you
00:00:48
know yeah the story. That
people wouldn't believe that I
00:00:54
believe it thank you I don't Cloris this
is let's talk and we're discussing movies
00:01:00
in Africa well when you talk about African
movies there's no way you can eliminate
00:01:06
the Nigerian film industry yeah this is the
largest in Africa in terms of money and
00:01:13
number of and your feelings of revenue and
also popularity right so if you remember
00:01:21
the very 1st guy Afula he was one of the
best actor nominee in African magic in
00:01:27
2017 he's not
00:01:29
a does the one of the best
actors out there but.
00:01:36
What are these actors doing that
takes Africa to the next level
00:01:43
as we always say in this show ladies 1st
tell me what do you think about the movie
00:01:50
industry especially more talk about South
Africa when we talk about Tanzania and
00:01:54
Africa in general it took
00:01:56
a while for African producers to be out
there definitely Oh yes definitely I think
00:02:01
it's just an issue of being previously
doesn't franchised from the economy so
00:02:05
Africans only starting to get back into
the role of things of having some own
00:02:09
having their own money to write their own
scripts and off the writing I mean it
00:02:13
used to be the preview look at
the I'm just speaking maybe from
00:02:15
a South African perspective because if you
look at the production side of movies
00:02:19
it's
00:02:19
a very expensive side and that side is
still very very much run by by white males
00:02:24
in South Africa so you are getting
00:02:25
a lot of scripts and plots that have been
written by young black South Africans
00:02:29
were telling wanting to tell the South
African story but the material wasn't
00:02:33
getting anyway because the
funders of the programs or of
00:02:35
a different color and we all know about the
race disparities that are inside Africa
00:02:39
and so we've had that but you know thanks
to government intervention and government
00:02:43
starting funds we've seen
00:02:45
a lot of South African stories coming up
so Nollywood is one of the best and is the
00:02:49
best and in Africa one of the best
in the world and I think there's
00:02:52
a great lesson that South Africa took
from Nollywood and we've started we've
00:02:55
started commissioning our own local shut
movies and we all are growing the movie
00:03:02
industry only would because the capital
of South Africa is Johannesburg and we
00:03:06
quote When we speak about Johannesburg we
call it so it's called. Which is coming
00:03:13
which is on the come up for us we very
excited for that I don't know if you are
00:03:17
viewers are aware but
we've also we also have
00:03:18
a couple of us going to many nations under
our belt and one Oscar winning movie
00:03:23
which is the movie told see. Which was in
00:03:28
a condom the year the duty was and I'll
tell you now the crowd was in the year 2005
00:03:32
at the 78th Annual Oscar. We won that and
it was directed by Gavin Hood but the
00:03:38
conversation around that then wasn't about
the South African story it was about it
00:03:42
was direct it was written and directed by
a white man produced and distributed by
00:03:46
a White Company So who exactly was making
money or making you know the profits from
00:03:53
this is the Africans who write Africans
making money from their own stories it's
00:03:57
another form of cultural export creation
we saw all those conversations coming to
00:04:01
that to the limelight and I love Nigeria's
story because it's it's black Africans
00:04:06
are making black African Writing black
African stories producing directing and
00:04:10
making
00:04:10
a killing from them oh yeah they're doing
that for sure and that's right you know
00:04:14
Nollywood has been there it's working out
it's working for them it's interesting
00:04:19
and I think also Ah the places in Africa
as you say that are looking to do the same
00:04:23
so let me ask my friend bucket from Tanzania
Yes Tell me about the movie industry
00:04:29
you think what is hampering the African
movies right now and maybe have we taken
00:04:35
all Saudis to the next level us rise you
think and see the movie industry in
00:04:39
Tanzania and other places in Africa Ok so
in Tanzania right now it's really I would
00:04:45
talk about 5 years ago 5 or 10 years ago
the movie industry in Tanzania was really
00:04:50
blooming and because we
had young hungry actors
00:04:56
directors and producers who were willing
to invest and and make this movies and
00:05:03
tell the stories but of course at the
time we were influenced with the Nigerian
00:05:08
ways they're all over Africa and we had
to actually find our way and identity in
00:05:15
our forte in the movie industry and the
movie and he was promising at the time but
00:05:22
then for the past 5 years movie
industry in Tanzania has died down
00:05:28
a little bit and and just
past 32 years I have few of
00:05:34
produces and direct. From who are tons and
Ian Smith living abroad have come and
00:05:40
try to revive it and so we'll hope for
that in the near future the movie industry
00:05:46
is going to go back to how we how
it was before but then we had
00:05:51
a challenge. Back in the days when
the movie industry was gloomy we had
00:05:56
a challenge 1st we had
00:05:57
a challenge of the quality of the Wiis
because the stories where that but then the
00:06:04
production was in
00:06:06
a pot and I think we've learned for the
past 2 years we've learned from some of the
00:06:11
producers that come from the from from
00:06:13
a boat abroad who've studied the movie
industry and they've come to Tanzania and
00:06:19
they've been directed movies that were of
quality and the movie that was shown in
00:06:25
the movie theaters Ok the
only man in the room with me.
00:06:32
You know the only reason everything to do
with the Nigerian movie industry and you
00:06:37
know from Nigeria but what about the
struggles because it doesn't mean that
00:06:43
everything is just nice and then the Nigeria
because the movie industry have gone
00:06:47
through a lot and this
still today they face
00:06:50
a lot of challenges you know right you
know 1st of all one of those but there is
00:06:56
one of the 3 secretaries coming out and
I Gerry by the way not only would an
00:07:02
example of such story running would
break and Barry and you know
00:07:09
emerge as. The 2nd largest
movie industry war.
00:07:16
And went all over Actiq obviously you
know we wouldn't. Really part of
00:07:23
like I said. It's in the Western
Art I watch Nollywood movie
00:07:31
ending wars Hollywood movies.
We're not. The thing is to impart
00:07:37
a practical to recognize somebody like you
know rub something wrong Jim my going to
00:07:42
need to do their Roberts or
down vote wash you know I had
00:07:47
a good part in the studio when we all
know the name called Don't. You know it's
00:07:53
great song nobody like me maybe not but
believing again movies much more popular in
00:08:00
Africa and then Hollywood movies and you're
right there were challenges there still
00:08:04
our government was ignoring this sector
in fact they did not include it known the
00:08:09
word in there like the entertainment
industry in the g.d.p.
00:08:13
And the until one there is visited
00:08:15
a 'd duty mom $1015.00 and
there realize there's
00:08:18
a huge opportunity in the over $5000000000.00
industry you know they're producing
00:08:25
old news movies and you know making revenue
you know off the books and you know the
00:08:30
government was not just you know including
them and their you know calculations
00:08:35
Paris is just unimaginable
you know because once
00:08:39
a cd is out and then there doesn't became
you know government has been trying to
00:08:43
crack down and touch people but you know
it's just so talk to do with the Internet
00:08:49
now people would just put the movies and
You Tube you know and make copies but now
00:08:55
things are becoming more and more
tightened. A little bit more control of the
00:09:00
cinema as I pick an op ed be the production
it's tough but it's becoming much much
00:09:06
heard because you know you have done it
since then produces that coming out to the
00:09:10
west you know taking classes and courses
you know and then going back to you know
00:09:16
to to Perseid those movies you know
and then for the 1st time you know
00:09:22
and about over 2 decades that
nobody would stuff as. The Niger
00:09:29
movies are included in the. Movie
category the Oscars so. No
00:09:36
I mean. Award.
00:09:48
Goes to trial and that's for sure and this
is where we need to talk about also how
00:09:52
do we go to those challenges of
nominations and then going beyond and
00:09:57
a winning you mention about Lupita Nyong'o
But what about Africa's enduring Africa

00:11:21
And Sunday at 930 u.t.c.
Right here on v.o.a.
00:11:25
Average. This is let's talk where we take
00:11:32
a lighthearted look at everyday issues
of importance to you I mean I host
00:11:37
a Sunday show Maria with a book
00:11:39
a number. And Haas and she be out
right now discussing African movies.
00:11:46
Well the film industry has
00:11:49
a lot of challenges but do actors do
enough do the government help enough
00:11:56
to get those to get passed through those
well I spoke to an actress herself when
00:12:03
Stayner Taylor from Sarah Leone and what
did you know take the only person more
00:12:09
sponsor an African
dialogue. With the. Less
00:12:17
I think was and. I'm not I'm like.
00:12:23
Why people see what we can bring on
the table and fence and black people.
00:12:31
Questioning trying to. Do that
00:12:38
where we somebody was saying that you
know what with African movies you see
00:12:42
a production. Is created maybe in like
00:12:47
a very short time and there's not much
expertise put in some of the movies and you
00:12:52
see some people just walking up from
somewhere trying to do some movies there so
00:12:56
they're not really up to par do you think
that is the case for African produces
00:13:02
maybe now that I think what it is we don't
have the support that was supposed to.
00:13:10
Conduction like when we did the black.
Actually the. Oh yeah well you as an African
00:13:17
producer you're trying
to get in country in
00:13:19
a sense trying to sell maybe 20000
compared to no you wanted to compare the
00:13:25
2000000. That she. Was
00:13:30
a good day for pulling Michael
Jackson. Well at the same time make.
00:13:38
Much better than the expense
of the man and man who.
00:13:45
Play. Producer you are trying to cut corners
really don't hunt down big black and
00:13:52
white budget. And I mean I think
one like you not and I mean so
00:13:58
what about your favorite moments in movies
I don't see that would be something that
00:14:04
I actually do what are called the one
I something that. What we got like
00:14:11
a week ago we actually
got me a movie about
00:14:15
a thing that was so quickly
done in the manual with. Actors
00:14:22
and when to put your
gold in a bunch of like
00:14:26
a street in Sierra Leone what I would.
Write and everything that I think
00:14:33
about it people that are not there right
now they can be really great in the
00:14:38
Premier people want to make it
into an incident. And educated
00:14:45
people trying to believe that life what
that will what I think nation of people
00:14:51
then I mean because an educated I mean
00:14:53
a lot of educated people and I also mean
that was one of my favorites you know you
00:15:00
only had 10 movies that was not known at
the comedy but at the same time and thank
00:15:05
you once Tina Tayla tonight on let's talk
we're discussing movies and Africa so
00:15:12
when did all of this start Well there was
00:15:16
a Senegalese writer and
film director and also
00:15:19
a producer has considered one of the
greatest authors of Africa by the elite
00:15:25
times and he's cold of the father
of African film in 1963 he
00:15:32
produces fast short film called barroom
Sarette and then 65 he will now the show
00:15:39
titled The neon. And in 1966
he produces fast feature film.
00:15:46
Langmore are dead for the speak French
would understand this better but was based
00:15:51
on his fast on short story and this was
the 1st feature film ever released by
00:15:57
a sub-Saharan African director so coming
back to bookers with something to say
00:16:03
about his stand there what
I wanted to tell you about
00:16:06
a good example we've had
one director who's he's
00:16:09
a director he's an actor and he's also
00:16:12
a producer he's from Tanzania he was living
in the United States he came back and
00:16:17
he he believed so much in the times in
00:16:20
a movie industry he could have had his
career in the United States and he would
00:16:25
have been very successful but he wanted to
come back and work in Tanzania and help
00:16:29
to revive the movie industry numb from no
tell me about South Africa and also in
00:16:34
general your views about the African movie
industry level to the next absolutely
00:16:39
South Africa also has an Oscar winner I
think she was the 1st African even though
00:16:43
she's the run she won for the movie Monster
Yes So she won an Oscar we're very
00:16:49
proud of her but she was born in been only
which is like one of the data Stalin of
00:16:53
Africa I remember him back and gave it to
Monday and she came back to moments with
00:16:56
and also when I was still alive and you
know she became somebody who looked up to
00:17:01
and suddenly it was African child it's
possible if she leaves can go and follows
00:17:05
and follow who dreams overseas and make
it in Hollywood we certainly can create
00:17:09
more more Chinese and South Africa and
they can one day when Oscar is so we still
00:17:14
hopeful that we're going to get more Oscar
winners coming out of Africa besides
00:17:18
Charlie's besides Lupita
very glad to get on to
00:17:21
a point earlier on I think Africa's
00:17:23
a unique position to leapfrog the process
so I heard us on earlier on speaking
00:17:28
about the issues of piracy and I think what
will be the biggest mistake that Africa
00:17:32
will make in going there in the industry
is if we go back and we try replicates the
00:17:37
steps that Hollywood has taken to get where
they are so Hollywood. Blockbusters in
00:17:43
America became absolute because
of industries because of
00:17:46
a. Make that make flicks I will see
people going to cinemas now and this is
00:17:49
a global phenomenon we seeing the D.V.D.'s
are not working out so for me any
00:17:54
African country that it wants to invest
in cinemas in order to grow they and they
00:17:58
the movie industry is
going to literally become
00:18:01
a kodak and you're thinking in in the past
you need to think in the future we need
00:18:05
to start innovating on how we're going to
make the music of the movie industry easy
00:18:11
to be consumed by by people of us
who want to watch we need to create
00:18:16
a movie make flicks of sorts for Africa
where people can consume so that piracy is
00:18:20
not an option I see is an option because
it's cheap and it's easier to access and
00:18:25
then a cinema people would love to go to
00:18:27
a cinema and get popcorn get cool drink but
the average African just is not making
00:18:31
enough
00:18:31
a day to afford that experience and you
do think that waiting for other countries
00:18:36
they all my goodness these guys are doing
very well because if I tell you my friend
00:18:40
. I have
00:18:42
a pilot's movie. I'm going to think about
and I'm not buying that and we don't want
00:18:47
to support my fellow African actors do we
still have that you don't want countries
00:18:51
. Who are there are you know granting
that what have you but we do have the
00:18:58
equivalent something like
00:19:00
a movie I kind of me I wore I think is the
Africa Magic award and big country. Like
00:19:06
a movie I wanted everywhere you know that
you you need people who watch movies the
00:19:13
. Stories they heard from friends
and have been Ok I want your
00:19:19
movie is very good and you are to be it
just send me on the phone and you watch it
00:19:26
there and catch it you know I will go online
one other aspect that we have to work
00:19:32
on now you know after the movie not working.
And they're going to production not
00:19:38
the quality quantity here yes what I want
just talking about right now I'm very
00:19:45
highly paid to prove. User Not only would
we believe it or not known he would be
00:19:49
just 2 weeks brother yeah and he would be
coming produce in under 2 weeks yeah and
00:19:55
I mean they spend you
know 888-821-0000 dollars
00:20:01
a hybrid Hollywood movie taking years to
make any calls over $6000000.00 That's
00:20:08
a legit actually yeah the. Movie and
sometimes if you break them into that meant
00:20:14
Ok right just after 25 minutes you know
being in and part one and then you have to
00:20:20
watch parts you know and you have
to watch what is that. You know I
00:20:27
think by the. Way get in there I
mean it you know and production time
00:20:34
the quality that you know production
equipment everything is. You know being
00:20:41
improved and sometimes if I'm not I'm
sorry to interrupt you don't just think
00:20:45
sometimes the theme remains to be the same
you look at someone is everything is the
00:20:51
same story and I didn't mean that very
place for you to do or die when there's 90
00:20:57
from a wealthy family and pay
no way and yeah and that become
00:21:01
a big you know you know
and my did they get
00:21:04
a happy ending no. Script and they're
going to have to think very over
00:21:11
and over and about when they didn't
I wanted you. To forget that.
00:21:21
You know please
00:21:23

00:25:43
Good evening everyone I'm Leno who do welcome
to have chat observers say Africa is
00:25:49
one of the countries with the highest
burden of TB The World Health Organization
00:25:54
estimates that there were
454000 cases of active TB
00:26:01
in 2015 in South Africa which means
up proximately 0.8 percent of the
00:26:08
population of about 15000000 developed
active tuberculosis disease
00:26:13
a cheer. On the program today we will
discuss tuberculosis we've been emphases on
00:26:19
safari for the last month in New York I
caught up with mischief Africa 2018 time
00:26:25
Irene green during the United Nations
General Assembly before being elected Ms
00:26:31
a far forgotten Marian suffered from
tuberculosis she now uses a platform as
00:26:36
a beauty pageant to raise awareness about
TB I asked him are in how did she found
00:26:42
out she was suffering from TB Take
00:26:45
a listen 2015 is when I was diagnosed
I basically presented with enlarged
00:26:51
lymph nodes in the neck I didn't have the
usual symptoms of coughing and using
00:26:55
weight and I just had this long in my neck
and I told myself go to the doctor and
00:27:01
being away to go see it and they automatically
offer the Grecians or if you got TB
00:27:05
because in the medical field it's hazardous
and he's one of those things that
00:27:10
a lot of doctors get
00:27:11
a lot of people in the medical field don't
get. They said no they had to test me
00:27:16
for it because it could possibly be that
it's one of the signs of TB I winter
00:27:22
number of case for it the last one being
the actual decision to remove it and to go
00:27:26
for
00:27:27
a biopsy and then it came back that I had
TB but most of my key was in my left and
00:27:31
it wasn't in the lungs and I told them
coughing and then immediately. It's not
00:27:36
a treatment sort of on the rifle for
treatment and I told myself Ok I know what
00:27:42
a nice let's tackle this let's do it started
my treatment but as I told everyone
00:27:47
early I didn't want to tell anyone about
it I thought people which me differently
00:27:51
and I think it's because even though I'm
studying medicine I thought I would be
00:27:55
able to handle
00:27:56
a bit because I'm in full dummied you
created but I think you know also just
00:28:01
cheating the patients and patients stories
of how they're treated different by
00:28:05
their families how they actually did
different in the workplace I assumed I would
00:28:09
be treated the same I'd still
do university would tell me
00:28:12
a call continue my studies even though
I wasn't infectious because I wasn't
00:28:17
coughing so I could to draw maybe a
line and in about 2 months in got
00:28:22
a little bit tougher because my surgical
wound going to be fictive by different
00:28:26
bacteria so I had to go in and bodies as
well so basically I was going on and Saudi
00:28:32
Stevie treatment every day everything that
I was having is drained going to make
00:28:36
just and then one day I just you know I
couldn't be more sitting in the kitchen and
00:28:41
told them to be so much
pain so much just dump
00:28:43
a doc on the move my neck and I spoke to
the lecturer at my university and that's
00:28:49
and she told me 10 Why didn't you tell
us like we had to help you and in the
00:28:53
universe to go over all my
treatment they referred me to
00:28:57
a doctor the cheated me for 3 topics
in. The public hospital mini help me
00:29:04
and then in my full 3 month is when I started
vomiting noisiness losing weight and
00:29:09
that's when I had the drug used to the
type to some side effect of the t.v.
00:29:12
Medication it's just one of those things
some people get it some people done and
00:29:17
then I had to take time of my
studies postpone rags and so it was
00:29:21
a month ago of medication and they had to
readjust the medication so that to month
00:29:27
was probably the most dramatic I even had
days of the New Year like when I was in
00:29:32
there years so I didn't know where I was
in the race decided it was moment to stop
00:29:36
. Being just a whole lot of things
but I think I've always been
00:29:39
a strong woman I've always been into being
agreement I wanted to deal with us so I
00:29:43
don't myself push through this it's Ok And
it's probably been the most vulnerable
00:29:48
states of my life being sick with TB
because you need off people you can do it
00:29:53
yourself and that was new to me I hated
being vulnerable and having to off people
00:29:58
help but I learned so much about through
that illness it taught me it's Ok you're
00:30:04
not weak if you have to offer help and the
uniting in chief got back into treatment
00:30:08
finished the treatment and the skillet and
I just went on as my life and i Phone
00:30:14
It's funny to talk about it until this
year when I went to South Africa and they
00:30:19
asked me what campaign do you want to know
into what you want to focus on does he
00:30:23
not just t.v.
00:30:25
Just keep coming up in my head
it was like 10 minutes is
00:30:28
a point for you on being most of Africa is
allowing your country in on the world to
00:30:33
know where you all and why not all the way
all what you have experienced and you
00:30:37
can help so many people and that is exactly
why into South Africa I wanted to make
00:30:41
a really of a change in my country
and this is how relevant is t.v.
00:30:47
It's insane and. They all on board
that been supportive and young now I'm
00:30:54
invited to come and speak at the you know
amongst ministers amongst We might be
00:30:59
here and I think that it's it's unbelievable
So what did you find may be surprising
00:31:06
for shocking as a patient I mean it's
one thing to be in the medical field as
00:31:12
a provider as a student if
it's another thing to be
00:31:15
a patient and you know about to
be formed because. You know it's
00:31:20
a country where there's a high
rate of t.v. Because of a t.v.
00:31:23
Infection but your experience as
00:31:26
a patient what did you find surprising
shocking it's just kind of hopeless like you
00:31:32
Eugene you just need to follow
instructions what if as
00:31:35
a doctor says. You have to believe because
they're the 1st near the professional
00:31:40
and when I'm on the other side when I'm
00:31:42
a medical student giving advice you don't
really understand it until you know the
00:31:47
patient what they all going through because
at here and sticking to this medication
00:31:51
every day for 6 months and I'm preaching
this to all my patients every time I see
00:31:56
them but when I was in a situation it's
so difficult the whole experience made me
00:32:02
a more into safety doctor. It helped
me to see the patient who they are and
00:32:07
understand this is more difficult than just
having one consultation and telling me
00:32:12
what they need to do t.v.
00:32:14
Something amongst a whole lot
of other diseases we have to be
00:32:17
a constant interaction with the doctor you
can just come in get the diagnosis use
00:32:21
your treatment go home you need to check
up on the patient because this only effect
00:32:25
is to consider so then now you
used it as a guys boom as
00:32:29
a you know beauty pageant What has it been
like and sharing that message for how do
00:32:35
people react to it because omnisciently
didn't deliver ready I was very scared very
00:32:41
scared to start this campaign actually
told people because 1st of all also scared
00:32:47
of stigma of being in the position that I
am no media can be very crazy media can
00:32:53
change things for things and that's why
I was very glad I could tell my story
00:32:57
myself so the 1st thing I'm scared of is
all those other family members and other
00:33:01
friends that I may have until now they're
going to know and when I was ill and
00:33:07
they'd ask me where I'm going I wouldn't
tell them so you know I was lying to
00:33:11
people as keeping things from people and
that that's not great so that was the 1st
00:33:17
2nd thing is as I said stigma and I'm going
to be telling my story how people going
00:33:21
to act are they going to treat me differently
if I go to my next fundraising event
00:33:26
that speak of people not going to want
to sit next to me because they are still
00:33:30
those misconceptions and to experience the
stigma so surprisingly. Not at all yes I
00:33:37
think it's has
00:33:38
a few platform because of you or I but even
the average patient that's the thing I
00:33:43
think because of the way I told the story
and because my whole campaign break the
00:33:48
stigma people don't do that to
me but I want them I want every
00:33:55
If you patient needs to be treated the same
the goddess of me they are and I think
00:34:01
being most of that forget actually saying
I had TB already thinking that Sting and
00:34:06
2 days before the campaign I was still.
Deciding and I really found this because
00:34:10
emotionally I was only dealing with the now
I hadn't spoken out of the 3 years and
00:34:16
. What happened is I was competing for most
is and they were we were in the top 12
00:34:22
and there was one specific contestant
we've been speedily was spinning like 2
00:34:25
months together really in this competition
and one day I just woke up my story and
00:34:32
no one knew I had TB and it was so emotional
crying and the specific I was very
00:34:37
close to immediately off of that she went
to the organization and she said Peace
00:34:43
taking to the hospital like he's getting
tasted after it's been so much time with
00:34:48
with what do you think I have TB You and
I didn't know that until 2 days before I
00:34:54
went to watch my campaign so my because
I was like us time enough time going to
00:34:58
mission will this help people Will this and
they go to this example because we give
00:35:02
the money they don't want
to tell me and that's not
00:35:05
a cool disco in Austin I mean why do you
act that way please tell me and understand
00:35:10
she told him and listen if you
hate it. I didn't know what t.v.
00:35:16
Once I feel freaked out because I was an
educated and what we did in that moment is
00:35:23
they told me go on your phone Google what
if TB That's exactly what she did and she
00:35:28
was like Oh Ok we finished the cheat meant
to kill it. And she did want to tell me
00:35:34
she didn't want to hurt me which actually.
Friend of mine and I told you you know
00:35:37
what that is the motivation that the cherry
on the top I needed because I could get
00:35:42
one person to read up on t.v.
00:35:44
And now the next person she needs when she
wanted that was in the same way yes so
00:35:49
that's what I'm hoping to do because
many people I can so tell us
00:35:51
a little bit of valuable been how's it
going and some other sponsors be amazing
00:35:56
they all so many people
who have had t.v. Have t.
00:35:59
Be pushing these stories as me. Not on
social media and it gives me so much you
00:36:06
know just so much joy to see that people
are talking about it and not stated and so
00:36:11
that's the 1st thing great response the
whole focus ease breaking the stigma and
00:36:17
I'm trying to do that by attending meetings
such as these and as I say conveying
00:36:22
what is being discussed to the people
in my phones because trust me it's not
00:36:28
a platform where they talk about things
like this and if I can have those 90000
00:36:33
followers on on Instagram see
TB You know oh Ok you know
00:36:39
a beauty queen can also have t.v.
00:36:42
Like what is this it's a it's
it's it located in even if it's
00:36:47
a few lines that have touched it alone
and that's the whole goal is so on and I
00:36:52
would love to take this to an international
platform because I'm competing in was
00:36:57
you know is at the end of the
Cea Miss Universe requires
00:37:00
a project I would love for this to become
even bigger that is that is another
00:37:05
stupid all of us go up and we should do
that when the you can only museum just
00:37:09
a. Final question what is your message
then what is your Mr. Selim is it is
00:37:17
for every person who has had TB
or has TB all has anyone around
00:37:24
them who's had TB I want them to
understand that they are not alone and
00:37:30
they all people out there who can help
we don't yet help you I want them to
00:37:35
understand that. It can be. As much I
know is bad tasting the round but.
00:37:43
Find find and string in your to just go out
and get tested go to 20 if you have the
00:37:50
sit in the Sit and sometimes peach is just
going to taste it real working long the
00:37:54
stigma we're busy breaking and that is
00:37:57
a message and it can be cured thank you
so may as years of my Forget that was

00:39:41
4th someone now. Welcome back to health
chat we continue to look at tuberculosis
00:39:47
insofar Fricker I spoke to Dr Aaron Woodson
A.D.'s of African minister of health
00:39:52
and chair of the stop TB partnership I asked
him his assessment of the state of TB
00:39:59
in his country yes we come from very far
as you know there are $2000000.00 shares
00:40:05
which is the drive us of t.p. Itself Firstly
we unfortunately had the biggest h.l.v.
00:40:11
Is identical and you are no you are way
that some of the key populations for TB
00:40:18
are people who are in charge the positive
the 2nd is that in the eighty's 80
00:40:24
percent of the gold of the weather was
obtained from South Africa and were paying
00:40:30
very dearly for that some years later
we came very good at it because
00:40:37
when we checked the district's for
instance out of South Africa has got 52
00:40:42
districts when you check the prevention
of cheapy number one is in they may have
00:40:48
gold mining better. Number 2 is in
them or your gold mine in best.
00:40:55
Number 4 is also in the mill your gold mine
in bed and you can go on and go on like
00:41:01
that so. We come from very far so but
since we started the well biggest program
00:41:08
when h.l.v.
00:41:09
And aids the UNCHR trial program we have
got $4200000.00 people is out of. School
00:41:15
on
00:41:15
a year of peace we have seen dramatic drop
in the cheapie as we see from the east they
00:41:22
said dismissing these by their well
to have organization we also have the
00:41:29
prevention therapy menu for people in China
plastics who we believe who we know are
00:41:35
particularly vulnerable. To t.v.
00:41:37
We've put them on
00:41:38
a drug court as honestly and 50
percent of the people who are on
00:41:45
ice on se prevention therapy in the
whole well are in South. Philly
00:41:52
then you interact could be top billing
you just put in a body in this army
00:41:56
a lot from Jensen in just say 60 percent
of all the people are on that potentially
00:42:02
which is clearly
00:42:03
a drug that has produced change 60 percent
of the Jubal number of people in the
00:42:08
doubling are in South Africa but also when
you would have mostly true came about
00:42:13
the gene xpect we were
the 1st country to have
00:42:17
a widespread availability of Gene xpect
in all our abilities we also to get to
00:42:22
correctional services facilities because
I forgot that apart from h.l.v.
00:42:28
It's the gold mining some other vulnerable
key population of people in correctional
00:42:34
cities which are commonly called
Chiefs so we also have some gene x.
00:42:39
Protecting multi-day So we are trying our
best and Western interests he did it
00:42:43
sounds as though you're starting to see
the result when you look at where the
00:42:48
situation is in terms of h.
00:42:50
And he and tuberculosis do you see
the prison needs in addressing TB
00:42:57
versus a Cheney or is it
00:42:59
a combination approach conditions have
to be addressed in order to see tangible
00:43:04
result on both front look you can defeat
each I mean we thought the big defeat in
00:43:10
TB You can't if you keep do without
defeating each other in fact this is not
00:43:15
a new question Nelson Mandela said it
long ago in 2004 that food genius are.
00:43:22
In filing when he was
addressing the International
00:43:27
a society conference he said their
world has made a defeating h.l.v.
00:43:33
It's their project and this
00:43:35
a blazing. But she be remained largely
ignored and he warned that there is no way
00:43:41
the world will be able to eradicate each
and eats if it continues to can all TB
00:43:47
They must you know where to get so I have
just informed you that we have lives near
00:43:54
reduce the incidence of TB in TB death by
putting the well because program on each
00:44:00
i.v.
00:44:01
And we also know that if we put the well
because program pointed in TB We are at
00:44:07
the same time dealing with each and he
eats Why because. When people are HIV
00:44:13
positive they are jealous of Kentucky
in TB increases by 300 percent.
00:44:20
And when people have called c.
00:44:23
Because he is from gold mining their chances
increase by 600 percent when people
00:44:29
are both age and inquisitive and have good
sequences their child is increased by
00:44:34
1800 percent. Then comes non-communicable
diseases which are also exploding as you
00:44:40
know when people are. Diabetic
jazz hands of Kentucky g.p.
00:44:45
Increases by 500 percent so
this is an entirely Shishi b.g.
00:44:48
Oldest disease meaning you have got to take
all of them to get us now when we talk
00:44:53
about innovation in entrance into the canals
is the only thing and where do you see
00:44:58
the most pressing needs where should we
have more in terms of innovation I would
00:45:04
looking into prevention treatment
but if you take well you can lay
00:45:08
a couple of things to remember G.P.'s
allegedly been ignored for many years because
00:45:12
we thought we have defeated and that's why
India and I said because he's not the
00:45:17
drama queen it kills very silently but
she's huge numbers which nobody can notice
00:45:23
and that's why it was largely ignored I
mean look with others of technology how do
00:45:29
we explain the fact that for the past 50
years we've been that most of men will be
00:45:33
teaching t.v.
00:45:34
With this even tracks no advice. Since the
doubling in the last minute I just knew
00:45:40
in the PIs 3 to 5 years but for the past
50 years we using this interact how do we
00:45:45
explain that says 1800. 1800
you understand that we'll be
00:45:52
using microscope beach that Misty b.g.
00:45:54
An expert told me I live. In this defeat
in South Africa we introduced in 2011
00:46:01
any tossing game changer in the way deep
is diagnosed but all these many years what
00:46:06
was it being so we need innovation
for new diagnostic innovations for
00:46:13
new drugs above anything everything
else we need innovation for
00:46:18
a vaccine once we get
the vaccine it will be
00:46:21
a key game changer because
the present vaccine p.c.t.
00:46:26
Have been there if I'm not mistaken for 90
years now and there is that starting not
00:46:31
to be shaken if by the. Simple when you
look at the future for the fight against
00:46:38
it to make losses in
stuff Africa do you have
00:46:42
a sense of optimism and to what extent
would you say is that yes I have
00:46:47
a sense of optimism because we are seeing
the results rather bored 2006 syringa
00:46:54
1000 people with tables keeping annually
defeat is down to 33000 I mean does
00:47:00
a dramatic drop and the drop precipitated
when we meet as I said when we put up
00:47:07
the well because until Toradol program so
we as he Progress Action and of course
00:47:13
the right to be happy we are also happy
while we're still calling for new
00:47:18
innovations I've just told you about it I
believe if Formica drug resistant TB be
00:47:25
fully doubling people who are multi-drug
resistant TB had to get any injection
00:47:31
every single day for
00:47:33
a period of 18 months just pick yourself
India. Who's in with the somebody has to
00:47:38
be about and that must have been for 18
months past trauma that's actually trauma
00:47:45
then secondly apart from the trauma people
that injection used to use the hearing
00:47:52
so you've got to decide between your legs
when you hear it is going to treat your
00:47:56
hearing for your life obviously because you
like to meet but still the introduction
00:48:01
of the troubling old those 2 has been
eliminated people no longer have to be put
00:48:06
everything the. Injection is no longer
the sun and people don't have to move to
00:48:11
a hearing so these are
things that are bringing
00:48:14
a lot of hope and I've told you that 60
percent of the people in the double into
00:48:19
but these are the feet but also people
injured we put it if they are put on what we
00:48:24
call eyes on as you
prevent it if there are
00:48:27
a peach 50 percent of the people are on
that are also in South Africa meaning
00:48:34
people each Are you positive we are we are
cutting that vulnerability from Kentucky
00:48:38
g.p.
00:48:39
So all of these advances makes one very
great then finally and this is that they're
00:48:44
going to be being on
00:48:46
a high level meeting on tuberculosis What
are your hopes in terms of outcomes from
00:48:51
this well as I said. There
are 5 asks Which you for
00:48:58
a agreed upon when you could she did that
the heads of states must agree to strive
00:49:04
Ascalon be able to measure know all of them
but the main one. Is that President Lee
00:49:11
It is estimated that there are
10000000 people of good g.p.
00:49:15
But only 6000000 are no globally and one
teacher means the other 4000000 are not
00:49:21
known but we know that they they're called
to misinform meet you now each country
00:49:27
has got each going contribution to that
missing 4000000 I know in my country in
00:49:31
South Africa is about 160000 people
who are. I miss you but you know that
00:49:38
in the present with g.p.
00:49:40
Has got the capacity but
00:49:42
a petition to ensure Tristin are in the
left just multiply those she goes off to
00:49:48
look good no they're busy infecting others
so the heads of state must help us to
00:49:53
find the missing family whom I don't the
well get to do want me. Figure in this
00:50:00
issue of innovation decision in
00:50:02
a vision they must get by his methods as
it states what are the new innovation
00:50:07
where are they resources to come up with
those new innovation and understanding
00:50:11
that one of the major innovations
is vaccine can we find
00:50:15
a vaccine for TB that'll be
00:50:18
a game changer absolutely keep the change

weekend destination Welcome back to House
chat we continue to look at tuberculosis
00:52:38
Voice of America reporter Carole Pearson
has an overview on the global fight
00:52:42
against TB last year tuberculosis killed
more people than any other communicable
00:52:48
disease more than 1300000 men women and
children yet experts say countries are not
00:52:54
providing enough money
to contain TB $1.00 u.n.
00:52:59
Official said an additional $13000000000.00
per year is needed to get the disease
00:53:05
under control the World Health Organization
estimates that $10000000.00 people who
00:53:10
become infected each year live mostly in
poor countries with limited access to
00:53:15
healthcare w.h.o.
00:53:17
Director General Dr Ted draws upon the
braces told the assembly that partnership is
00:53:24
vital to end the disease
w.h.o. Plans to lead u.n.
00:53:28
Efforts to support governments
and other partners to drive
00:53:32
a faster response to TB. Most
patients can be cured with
00:53:37
a 6 month treatment program but as world
leaders told the assembly medication is
00:53:42
expensive and the stigma associated with
TB interferes with getting people screened
00:53:48
and treated Nandita Venkatesan
00:53:52
a young woman from India told the gathering
about the toll the disease has taken on
00:53:57
her life she got t.b.
00:53:59
More than once including
00:54:01
a drug resistant variety Venkatesan said
getting cured involved hospital stays 6
00:54:07
surgeries and negative reactions to the
medicine that was supposed to cure her just
00:54:13
days before the high level meeting the
World Health Organization released its
00:54:17
annual TB report it found cases among all
age groups and in all countries 2 thirds
00:54:24
of the cases were in just 8 countries India
Pakistan Bangladesh China Indonesia the
00:54:31
Philippines South Africa and Nigeria
the meeting ended with the adoption of
00:54:37
a declaration intended to strengthen
action and investments for ending TB and
00:54:43
saving millions of lives

President Trump says that he has had
00:55:43
a very positive hour long phone conversation
with Russian President Vladimir Putin
00:55:48
about Venezuela and other issues Vili's
White House bureau chief Steve Herman
00:55:53
reports Trump's call on Friday
with Putin came as top u.s.
00:55:56
Security officials met at the Pentagon
to discuss options about Venezuela the
00:56:01
president describes his exchange with Putin
about Venezuela as very positive he is
00:56:06
. Not looking at all to get involved in
Venezuela other than he'd like to see
00:56:11
something positive happen for Venezuela
and I feel the same way tension has grown
00:56:17
in recent days between Washington and
Moscow over the increasingly destabilizing
00:56:21
events in Caracas the trumpet ministration
has accused the Russians of preventing
00:56:26
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from
giving up power and fleeing the country

Steve Herman v.o.a.

a Blue Jet on their engine virgin margarita
I mean they trailers you see the
00:00:09
trailers on You Tube you like wait
00:00:10
a minute this is not level production
out here yeah I saw the trailer.
00:00:17
He was yeah I think it's an incredible
movie. Understanding the movie industry now
00:00:24
people are really understanding it again
yes I'm showing the real vibrancy of
00:00:30
Africa because the story of Africa has
be has to be told by Africans themselves
00:00:34
better right yeah. Have you
know my most intriguing movies
00:00:41
now are these villages. I
love and the dressing you
00:00:48
know yeah the story. That
people wouldn't believe that I
00:00:54
believe it thank you I don't Cloris this
is let's talk and we're discussing movies
00:01:00
in Africa well when you talk about African
movies there's no way you can eliminate
00:01:06
the Nigerian film industry yeah this is the
largest in Africa in terms of money and
00:01:13
number of and your feelings of revenue and
also popularity right so if you remember
00:01:21
the very 1st guy Afula he was one of the
best actor nominee in African magic in
00:01:27
2017 he's not
00:01:29
a does the one of the best
actors out there but.
00:01:36
What are these actors doing that
takes Africa to the next level
00:01:43
as we always say in this show ladies 1st
tell me what do you think about the movie
00:01:50
industry especially more talk about South
Africa when we talk about Tanzania and
00:01:54
Africa in general it took
00:01:56
a while for African producers to be out
there definitely Oh yes definitely I think
00:02:01
it's just an issue of being previously
doesn't franchised from the economy so
00:02:05
Africans only starting to get back into
the role of things of having some own
00:02:09
having their own money to write their own
scripts and off the writing I mean it
00:02:13
used to be the preview look at
the I'm just speaking maybe from
00:02:15
a South African perspective because if you
look at the production side of movies
00:02:19
it's
00:02:19
a very expensive side and that side is
still very very much run by by white males
00:02:24
in South Africa so you are getting
00:02:25
a lot of scripts and plots that have been
written by young black South Africans
00:02:29
were telling wanting to tell the South
African story but the material wasn't
00:02:33
getting anyway because the
funders of the programs or of
00:02:35
a different color and we all know about the
race disparities that are inside Africa
00:02:39
and so we've had that but you know thanks
to government intervention and government
00:02:43
starting funds we've seen
00:02:45
a lot of South African stories coming up
so Nollywood is one of the best and is the
00:02:49
best and in Africa one of the best
in the world and I think there's
00:02:52
a great lesson that South Africa took
from Nollywood and we've started we've
00:02:55
started commissioning our own local shut
movies and we all are growing the movie
00:03:02
industry only would because the capital
of South Africa is Johannesburg and we
00:03:06
quote When we speak about Johannesburg we
call it so it's called. Which is coming
00:03:13
which is on the come up for us we very
excited for that I don't know if you are
00:03:17
viewers are aware but
we've also we also have
00:03:18
a couple of us going to many nations under
our belt and one Oscar winning movie
00:03:23
which is the movie told see. Which was in
00:03:28
a condom the year the duty was and I'll
tell you now the crowd was in the year 2005
00:03:32
at the 78th Annual Oscar. We won that and
it was directed by Gavin Hood but the
00:03:38
conversation around that then wasn't about
the South African story it was about it
00:03:42
was direct it was written and directed by
a white man produced and distributed by
00:03:46
a White Company So who exactly was making
money or making you know the profits from
00:03:53
this is the Africans who write Africans
making money from their own stories it's
00:03:57
another form of cultural export creation
we saw all those conversations coming to
00:04:01
that to the limelight and I love Nigeria's
story because it's it's black Africans
00:04:06
are making black African Writing black
African stories producing directing and
00:04:10
making
00:04:10
a killing from them oh yeah they're doing
that for sure and that's right you know
00:04:14
Nollywood has been there it's working out
it's working for them it's interesting
00:04:19
and I think also Ah the places in Africa
as you say that are looking to do the same
00:04:23
so let me ask my friend bucket from Tanzania
Yes Tell me about the movie industry
00:04:29
you think what is hampering the African
movies right now and maybe have we taken
00:04:35
all Saudis to the next level us rise you
think and see the movie industry in
00:04:39
Tanzania and other places in Africa Ok so
in Tanzania right now it's really I would
00:04:45
talk about 5 years ago 5 or 10 years ago
the movie industry in Tanzania was really
00:04:50
blooming and because we
had young hungry actors
00:04:56
directors and producers who were willing
to invest and and make this movies and
00:05:03
tell the stories but of course at the
time we were influenced with the Nigerian
00:05:08
ways they're all over Africa and we had
to actually find our way and identity in
00:05:15
our forte in the movie industry and the
movie and he was promising at the time but
00:05:22
then for the past 5 years movie
industry in Tanzania has died down
00:05:28
a little bit and and just
past 32 years I have few of
00:05:34
produces and direct. From who are tons and
Ian Smith living abroad have come and
00:05:40
try to revive it and so we'll hope for
that in the near future the movie industry
00:05:46
is going to go back to how we how
it was before but then we had
00:05:51
a challenge. Back in the days when
the movie industry was gloomy we had
00:05:56
a challenge 1st we had
00:05:57
a challenge of the quality of the Wiis
because the stories where that but then the
00:06:04
production was in
00:06:06
a pot and I think we've learned for the
past 2 years we've learned from some of the
00:06:11
producers that come from the from from
00:06:13
a boat abroad who've studied the movie
industry and they've come to Tanzania and
00:06:19
they've been directed movies that were of
quality and the movie that was shown in
00:06:25
the movie theaters Ok the
only man in the room with me.
00:06:32
You know the only reason everything to do
with the Nigerian movie industry and you
00:06:37
know from Nigeria but what about the
struggles because it doesn't mean that
00:06:43
everything is just nice and then the Nigeria
because the movie industry have gone
00:06:47
through a lot and this
still today they face
00:06:50
a lot of challenges you know right you
know 1st of all one of those but there is
00:06:56
one of the 3 secretaries coming out and
I Gerry by the way not only would an
00:07:02
example of such story running would
break and Barry and you know
00:07:09
emerge as. The 2nd largest
movie industry war.
00:07:16
And went all over Actiq obviously you
know we wouldn't. Really part of
00:07:23
like I said. It's in the Western
Art I watch Nollywood movie
00:07:31
ending wars Hollywood movies.
We're not. The thing is to impart
00:07:37
a practical to recognize somebody like you
know rub something wrong Jim my going to
00:07:42
need to do their Roberts or
down vote wash you know I had
00:07:47
a good part in the studio when we all
know the name called Don't. You know it's
00:07:53
great song nobody like me maybe not but
believing again movies much more popular in
00:08:00
Africa and then Hollywood movies and you're
right there were challenges there still
00:08:04
our government was ignoring this sector
in fact they did not include it known the
00:08:09
word in there like the entertainment
industry in the g.d.p.
00:08:13
And the until one there is visited
00:08:15
a 'd duty mom $1015.00 and
there realize there's
00:08:18
a huge opportunity in the over $5000000000.00
industry you know they're producing
00:08:25
old news movies and you know making revenue
you know off the books and you know the
00:08:30
government was not just you know including
them and their you know calculations
00:08:35
Paris is just unimaginable
you know because once
00:08:39
a cd is out and then there doesn't became
you know government has been trying to
00:08:43
crack down and touch people but you know
it's just so talk to do with the Internet
00:08:49
now people would just put the movies and
You Tube you know and make copies but now
00:08:55
things are becoming more and more
tightened. A little bit more control of the
00:09:00
cinema as I pick an op ed be the production
it's tough but it's becoming much much
00:09:06
heard because you know you have done it
since then produces that coming out to the
00:09:10
west you know taking classes and courses
you know and then going back to you know
00:09:16
to to Perseid those movies you know
and then for the 1st time you know
00:09:22
and about over 2 decades that
nobody would stuff as. The Niger
00:09:29
movies are included in the. Movie
category the Oscars so. No
00:09:36
I mean. Award.
00:09:48
Goes to trial and that's for sure and this
is where we need to talk about also how
00:09:52
do we go to those challenges of
nominations and then going beyond and
00:09:57
a winning you mention about Lupita Nyong'o
But what about Africa's enduring Africa
00:10:01
with let's hold it right there Ok I know
you have something to say and I'll be on

00:11:10

00:11:16
Wednesdays at 1730 u.t.c.
Set a date 900 the u.t.c.
00:11:21
And Sunday at 930 u.t.c.
Right here on v.o.a.
00:11:25
Average. This is let's talk where we take
00:11:32
a lighthearted look at everyday issues
of importance to you I mean I host
00:11:37
a Sunday show Maria with a book
00:11:39
a number. And Haas and she be out
right now discussing African movies.
00:11:46
Well the film industry has
00:11:49
a lot of challenges but do actors do
enough do the government help enough
00:11:56
to get those to get passed through those
well I spoke to an actress herself when
00:12:03
Stayner Taylor from Sarah Leone and what
did you know take the only person more
00:12:09
sponsor an African
dialogue. With the. Less
00:12:17
I think was and. I'm not I'm like.
00:12:23
Why people see what we can bring on
the table and fence and black people.
00:12:31
Questioning trying to. Do that
00:12:38
where we somebody was saying that you
know what with African movies you see
00:12:42
a production. Is created maybe in like
00:12:47
a very short time and there's not much
expertise put in some of the movies and you
00:12:52
see some people just walking up from
somewhere trying to do some movies there so
00:12:56
they're not really up to par do you think
that is the case for African produces
00:13:02
maybe now that I think what it is we don't
have the support that was supposed to.
00:13:10
Conduction like when we did the black.
Actually the. Oh yeah well you as an African
00:13:17
producer you're trying
to get in country in
00:13:19
a sense trying to sell maybe 20000
compared to no you wanted to compare the
00:13:25
2000000. That she. Was
00:13:30
a good day for pulling Michael
Jackson. Well at the same time make.
00:13:38
Much better than the expense
of the man and man who.
00:13:45
Play. Producer you are trying to cut corners
really don't hunt down big black and
00:13:52
white budget. And I mean I think
one like you not and I mean so
00:13:58
what about your favorite moments in movies
I don't see that would be something that
00:14:04
I actually do what are called the one
I something that. What we got like
00:14:11
a week ago we actually
got me a movie about
00:14:15
a thing that was so quickly
done in the manual with. Actors
00:14:22
and when to put your
gold in a bunch of like
00:14:26
a street in Sierra Leone what I would.
Write and everything that I think
00:14:33
about it people that are not there right
now they can be really great in the
00:14:38
Premier people want to make it
into an incident. And educated
00:14:45
people trying to believe that life what
that will what I think nation of people
00:14:51
then I mean because an educated I mean
00:14:53
a lot of educated people and I also mean
that was one of my favorites you know you
00:15:00
only had 10 movies that was not known at
the comedy but at the same time and thank
00:15:05
you once Tina Tayla tonight on let's talk
we're discussing movies and Africa so
00:15:12
when did all of this start Well there was
00:15:16
a Senegalese writer and
film director and also
00:15:19
a producer has considered one of the
greatest authors of Africa by the elite
00:15:25
times and he's cold of the father
of African film in 1963 he
00:15:32
produces fast short film called barroom
Sarette and then 65 he will now the show
00:15:39
titled The neon. And in 1966
he produces fast feature film.
00:15:46
Langmore are dead for the speak French
would understand this better but was based
00:15:51
on his fast on short story and this was
the 1st feature film ever released by
00:15:57
a sub-Saharan African director so coming
back to bookers with something to say
00:16:03
about his stand there what
I wanted to tell you about
00:16:06
a good example we've had
one director who's he's
00:16:09
a director he's an actor and he's also
00:16:12
a producer he's from Tanzania he was living
in the United States he came back and
00:16:17
he he believed so much in the times in
00:16:20
a movie industry he could have had his
career in the United States and he would
00:16:25
have been very successful but he wanted to
come back and work in Tanzania and help
00:16:29
to revive the movie industry numb from no
tell me about South Africa and also in
00:16:34
general your views about the African movie
industry level to the next absolutely
00:16:39
South Africa also has an Oscar winner I
think she was the 1st African even though
00:16:43
she's the run she won for the movie Monster
Yes So she won an Oscar we're very
00:16:49
proud of her but she was born in been only
which is like one of the data Stalin of
00:16:53
Africa I remember him back and gave it to
Monday and she came back to moments with
00:16:56
and also when I was still alive and you
know she became somebody who looked up to
00:17:01
and suddenly it was African child it's
possible if she leaves can go and follows
00:17:05
and follow who dreams overseas and make
it in Hollywood we certainly can create
00:17:09
more more Chinese and South Africa and
they can one day when Oscar is so we still
00:17:14
hopeful that we're going to get more Oscar
winners coming out of Africa besides
00:17:18
Charlie's besides Lupita
very glad to get on to
00:17:21
a point earlier on I think Africa's
00:17:23
a unique position to leapfrog the process
so I heard us on earlier on speaking
00:17:28
about the issues of piracy and I think what
will be the biggest mistake that Africa
00:17:32
will make in going there in the industry
is if we go back and we try replicates the
00:17:37
steps that Hollywood has taken to get where
they are so Hollywood. Blockbusters in
00:17:43
America became absolute because
of industries because of
00:17:46
a. Make that make flicks I will see
people going to cinemas now and this is
00:17:49
a global phenomenon we seeing the D.V.D.'s
are not working out so for me any
00:17:54
African country that it wants to invest
in cinemas in order to grow they and they
00:17:58
the movie industry is
going to literally become
00:18:01
a kodak and you're thinking in in the past
you need to think in the future we need
00:18:05
to start innovating on how we're going to
make the music of the movie industry easy
00:18:11
to be consumed by by people of us
who want to watch we need to create
00:18:16
a movie make flicks of sorts for Africa
where people can consume so that piracy is
00:18:20
not an option I see is an option because
it's cheap and it's easier to access and
00:18:25
then a cinema people would love to go to
00:18:27
a cinema and get popcorn get cool drink but
the average African just is not making
00:18:31
enough
00:18:31
a day to afford that experience and you
do think that waiting for other countries
00:18:36
they all my goodness these guys are doing
very well because if I tell you my friend
00:18:40
. I have
00:18:42
a pilot's movie. I'm going to think about
and I'm not buying that and we don't want
00:18:47
to support my fellow African actors do we
still have that you don't want countries
00:18:51
. Who are there are you know granting
that what have you but we do have the
00:18:58
equivalent something like
00:19:00
a movie I kind of me I wore I think is the
Africa Magic award and big country. Like
00:19:06
a movie I wanted everywhere you know that
you you need people who watch movies the
00:19:13
. Stories they heard from friends
and have been Ok I want your
00:19:19
movie is very good and you are to be it
just send me on the phone and you watch it
00:19:26
there and catch it you know I will go online
one other aspect that we have to work
00:19:32
on now you know after the movie not working.
And they're going to production not
00:19:38
the quality quantity here yes what I want
just talking about right now I'm very
00:19:45
highly paid to prove. User Not only would
we believe it or not known he would be
00:19:49
just 2 weeks brother yeah and he would be
coming produce in under 2 weeks yeah and
00:19:55
I mean they spend you
know 888-821-0000 dollars
00:20:01
a hybrid Hollywood movie taking years to
make any calls over $6000000.00 That's
00:20:08
a legit actually yeah the. Movie and
sometimes if you break them into that meant
00:20:14
Ok right just after 25 minutes you know
being in and part one and then you have to
00:20:20
watch parts you know and you have
to watch what is that. You know I
00:20:27
think by the. Way get in there I
mean it you know and production time
00:20:34
the quality that you know production
equipment everything is. You know being
00:20:41
improved and sometimes if I'm not I'm
sorry to interrupt you don't just think
00:20:45
sometimes the theme remains to be the same
you look at someone is everything is the
00:20:51
same story and I didn't mean that very
place for you to do or die when there's 90
00:20:57
from a wealthy family and pay
no way and yeah and that become
00:21:01
a big you know you know
and my did they get
00:21:04
a happy ending no. Script and they're
going to have to think very over
00:21:11
and over and about when they didn't
I wanted you. To forget that.

00:25:43
Good evening everyone I'm Leno who do welcome
to have chat observers say Africa is
00:25:49
one of the countries with the highest
burden of TB The World Health Organization
00:25:54
estimates that there were
454000 cases of active TB
00:26:01
in 2015 in South Africa which means
up proximately 0.8 percent of the
00:26:08
population of about 15000000 developed
active tuberculosis disease
00:26:13
a cheer. On the program today we will
discuss tuberculosis we've been emphases on
00:26:19
safari for the last month in New York I
caught up with mischief Africa 2018 time
00:26:25
Irene green during the United Nations
General Assembly before being elected Ms
00:26:31
a far forgotten Marian suffered from
tuberculosis she now uses a platform as
00:26:36
a beauty pageant to raise awareness about
TB I asked him are in how did she found
00:26:42
out she was suffering from TB Take
00:26:45
a listen 2015 is when I was diagnosed
I basically presented with enlarged
00:26:51
lymph nodes in the neck I didn't have the
usual symptoms of coughing and using
00:26:55
weight and I just had this long in my neck
and I told myself go to the doctor and
00:27:01
being away to go see it and they automatically
offer the Grecians or if you got TB
00:27:05
because in the medical field it's hazardous
and he's one of those things that
00:27:10
a lot of doctors get
00:27:11
a lot of people in the medical field don't
get. They said no they had to test me
00:27:16
for it because it could possibly be that
it's one of the signs of TB I winter
00:27:22
number of case for it the last one being
the actual decision to remove it and to go
00:27:26
for
00:27:27
a biopsy and then it came back that I had
TB but most of my key was in my left and
00:27:31
it wasn't in the lungs and I told them
coughing and then immediately. It's not
00:27:36
a treatment sort of on the rifle for
treatment and I told myself Ok I know what
00:27:42
a nice let's tackle this let's do it started
my treatment but as I told everyone
00:27:47
early I didn't want to tell anyone about
it I thought people which me differently
00:27:51
and I think it's because even though I'm
studying medicine I thought I would be
00:27:55
able to handle
00:27:56
a bit because I'm in full dummied you
created but I think you know also just
00:28:01
cheating the patients and patients stories
of how they're treated different by
00:28:05
their families how they actually did
different in the workplace I assumed I would
00:28:09
be treated the same I'd still
do university would tell me
00:28:12
a call continue my studies even though
I wasn't infectious because I wasn't
00:28:17
coughing so I could to draw maybe a
line and in about 2 months in got
00:28:22
a little bit tougher because my surgical
wound going to be fictive by different
00:28:26
bacteria so I had to go in and bodies as
well so basically I was going on and Saudi
00:28:32
Stevie treatment every day everything that
I was having is drained going to make
00:28:36
just and then one day I just you know I
couldn't be more sitting in the kitchen and
00:28:41
told them to be so much
pain so much just dump
00:28:43
a doc on the move my neck and I spoke to
the lecturer at my university and that's
00:28:49
and she told me 10 Why didn't you tell
us like we had to help you and in the
00:28:53
universe to go over all my
treatment they referred me to
00:28:57
a doctor the cheated me for 3 topics
in. The public hospital mini help me
00:29:04
and then in my full 3 month is when I started
vomiting noisiness losing weight and
00:29:09
that's when I had the drug used to the
type to some side effect of the t.v.
00:29:12
Medication it's just one of those things
some people get it some people done and
00:29:17
then I had to take time of my
studies postpone rags and so it was
00:29:21
a month ago of medication and they had to
readjust the medication so that to month
00:29:27
was probably the most dramatic I even had
days of the New Year like when I was in
00:29:32
there years so I didn't know where I was
in the race decided it was moment to stop
00:29:36
. Being just a whole lot of things
but I think I've always been
00:29:39
a strong woman I've always been into being
agreement I wanted to deal with us so I
00:29:43
don't myself push through this it's Ok And
it's probably been the most vulnerable
00:29:48
states of my life being sick with TB
because you need off people you can do it
00:29:53
yourself and that was new to me I hated
being vulnerable and having to off people
00:29:58
help but I learned so much about through
that illness it taught me it's Ok you're
00:30:04
not weak if you have to offer help and the
uniting in chief got back into treatment
00:30:08
finished the treatment and the skillet and
I just went on as my life and i Phone
00:30:14
It's funny to talk about it until this
year when I went to South Africa and they
00:30:19
asked me what campaign do you want to know
into what you want to focus on does he
00:30:23
not just t.v.
00:30:25
Just keep coming up in my head
it was like 10 minutes is
00:30:28
a point for you on being most of Africa is
allowing your country in on the world to
00:30:33
know where you all and why not all the way
all what you have experienced and you
00:30:37
can help so many people and that is exactly
why into South Africa I wanted to make
00:30:41
a really of a change in my country
and this is how relevant is t.v.
00:30:47
It's insane and. They all on board
that been supportive and young now I'm
00:30:54
invited to come and speak at the you know
amongst ministers amongst We might be
00:30:59
here and I think that it's it's unbelievable
So what did you find may be surprising
00:31:06
for shocking as a patient I mean it's
one thing to be in the medical field as
00:31:12
a provider as a student if
it's another thing to be
00:31:15
a patient and you know about to
be formed because. You know it's
00:31:20
a country where there's a high
rate of t.v. Because of a t.v.
00:31:23
Infection but your experience as
00:31:26
a patient what did you find surprising
shocking it's just kind of hopeless like you
00:31:32
Eugene you just need to follow
instructions what if as
00:31:35
a doctor says. You have to believe because
they're the 1st near the professional
00:31:40
and when I'm on the other side when I'm
00:31:42
a medical student giving advice you don't
really understand it until you know the
00:31:47
patient what they all going through because
at here and sticking to this medication
00:31:51
every day for 6 months and I'm preaching
this to all my patients every time I see
00:31:56
them but when I was in a situation it's
so difficult the whole experience made me
00:32:02
a more into safety doctor. It helped
me to see the patient who they are and
00:32:07
understand this is more difficult than just
having one consultation and telling me
00:32:12
what they need to do t.v.
00:32:14
Something amongst a whole lot
of other diseases we have to be
00:32:17
a constant interaction with the doctor you
can just come in get the diagnosis use
00:32:21
your treatment go home you need to check
up on the patient because this only effect
00:32:25
is to consider so then now you
used it as a guys boom as
00:32:29
a you know beauty pageant What has it been
like and sharing that message for how do
00:32:35
people react to it because omnisciently
didn't deliver ready I was very scared very
00:32:41
scared to start this campaign actually
told people because 1st of all also scared
00:32:47
of stigma of being in the position that I
am no media can be very crazy media can
00:32:53
change things for things and that's why
I was very glad I could tell my story
00:32:57
myself so the 1st thing I'm scared of is
all those other family members and other
00:33:01
friends that I may have until now they're
going to know and when I was ill and
00:33:07
they'd ask me where I'm going I wouldn't
tell them so you know I was lying to
00:33:11
people as keeping things from people and
that that's not great so that was the 1st
00:33:17
2nd thing is as I said stigma and I'm going
to be telling my story how people going
00:33:21
to act are they going to treat me differently
if I go to my next fundraising event
00:33:26
that speak of people not going to want
to sit next to me because they are still
00:33:30
those misconceptions and to experience the
stigma so surprisingly. Not at all yes I
00:33:37
think it's has
00:33:38
a few platform because of you or I but even
the average patient that's the thing I
00:33:43
think because of the way I told the story
and because my whole campaign break the
00:33:48
stigma people don't do that to
me but I want them I want every
00:33:55
If you patient needs to be treated the same
the goddess of me they are and I think
00:34:01
being most of that forget actually saying
I had TB already thinking that Sting and
00:34:06
2 days before the campaign I was still.
Deciding and I really found this because
00:34:10
emotionally I was only dealing with the now
I hadn't spoken out of the 3 years and
00:34:16
. What happened is I was competing for most
is and they were we were in the top 12
00:34:22
and there was one specific contestant
we've been speedily was spinning like 2
00:34:25
months together really in this competition
and one day I just woke up my story and
00:34:32
no one knew I had TB and it was so emotional
crying and the specific I was very
00:34:37
close to immediately off of that she went
to the organization and she said Peace
00:34:43
taking to the hospital like he's getting
tasted after it's been so much time with
00:34:48
with what do you think I have TB You and
I didn't know that until 2 days before I
00:34:54
went to watch my campaign so my because
I was like us time enough time going to
00:34:58
mission will this help people Will this and
they go to this example because we give
00:35:02
the money they don't want
to tell me and that's not
00:35:05
a cool disco in Austin I mean why do you
act that way please tell me and understand
00:35:10
she told him and listen if you
hate it. I didn't know what t.v.
00:35:16
Once I feel freaked out because I was an
educated and what we did in that moment is
00:35:23
they told me go on your phone Google what
if TB That's exactly what she did and she
00:35:28
was like Oh Ok we finished the cheat meant
to kill it. And she did want to tell me
00:35:34
she didn't want to hurt me which actually.
Friend of mine and I told you you know
00:35:37
what that is the motivation that the cherry
on the top I needed because I could get
00:35:42
one person to read up on t.v.
00:35:44
And now the next person she needs when she
wanted that was in the same way yes so
00:35:49
that's what I'm hoping to do because
many people I can so tell us
00:35:51
a little bit of valuable been how's it
going and some other sponsors be amazing
00:35:56
they all so many people
who have had t.v. Have t.
00:35:59
Be pushing these stories as me. Not on
social media and it gives me so much you
00:36:06
know just so much joy to see that people
are talking about it and not stated and so
00:36:11
that's the 1st thing great response the
whole focus ease breaking the stigma and
00:36:17
I'm trying to do that by attending meetings
such as these and as I say conveying
00:36:22
what is being discussed to the people
in my phones because trust me it's not
00:36:28
a platform where they talk about things
like this and if I can have those 90000
00:36:33
followers on on Instagram see
TB You know oh Ok you know
00:36:39
a beauty queen can also have t.v.
00:36:42
Like what is this it's a it's
it's it located in even if it's
00:36:47
a few lines that have touched it alone
and that's the whole goal is so on and I
00:36:52
would love to take this to an international
platform because I'm competing in was
00:36:57
you know is at the end of the

00:39:41
4th someone now. Welcome back to health
chat we continue to look at tuberculosis
00:39:47
insofar Fricker I spoke to Dr Aaron Woodson
A.D.'s of African minister of health
00:39:52
and chair of the stop TB partnership I asked
him his assessment of the state of TB
00:39:59
in his country yes we come from very far
as you know there are $2000000.00 shares
00:40:05
which is the drive us of t.p. Itself Firstly
we unfortunately had the biggest h.l.v.
00:40:11
Is identical and you are no you are way
that some of the key populations for TB
00:40:18
are people who are in charge the positive
the 2nd is that in the eighty's 80
00:40:24
percent of the gold of the weather was
obtained from South Africa and were paying
00:40:30
very dearly for that some years later
we came very good at it because
00:40:37
when we checked the district's for
instance out of South Africa has got 52
00:40:42
districts when you check the prevention
of cheapy number one is in they may have
00:40:48
gold mining better. Number 2 is in
them or your gold mine in best.
00:40:55
Number 4 is also in the mill your gold mine
in bed and you can go on and go on like
00:41:01
that so. We come from very far so but
since we started the well biggest program
00:41:08
when h.l.v.
00:41:09
And aids the UNCHR trial program we have
got $4200000.00 people is out of. School
00:41:15
on
00:41:15
a year of peace we have seen dramatic drop
in the cheapie as we see from the east they
00:41:22
said dismissing these by their well
to have organization we also have the
00:41:29
prevention therapy menu for people in China
plastics who we believe who we know are
00:41:35
particularly vulnerable. To t.v.
00:41:37
We've put them on
00:41:38
a drug court as honestly and 50
percent of the people who are on
00:41:45
ice on se prevention therapy in the
whole well are in South. Philly
00:41:52
then you interact could be top billing
you just put in a body in this army
00:41:56
a lot from Jensen in just say 60 percent
of all the people are on that potentially
00:42:02
which is clearly
00:42:03
a drug that has produced change 60 percent
of the Jubal number of people in the
00:42:08
doubling are in South Africa but also when
you would have mostly true came about
00:42:13
the gene xpect we were
the 1st country to have
00:42:17
a widespread availability of Gene xpect
in all our abilities we also to get to
00:42:22
correctional services facilities because
I forgot that apart from h.l.v.
00:42:28
It's the gold mining some other vulnerable
key population of people in correctional
00:42:34
cities which are commonly called
Chiefs so we also have some gene x.
00:42:39
Protecting multi-day So we are trying our
best and Western interests he did it
00:42:43
sounds as though you're starting to see
the result when you look at where the
00:42:48
situation is in terms of h.
00:42:50
And he and tuberculosis do you see
the prison needs in addressing TB
00:42:57
versus a Cheney or is it
00:42:59
a combination approach conditions have
to be addressed in order to see tangible
00:43:04
result on both front look you can defeat
each I mean we thought the big defeat in
00:43:10
TB You can't if you keep do without
defeating each other in fact this is not
00:43:15
a new question Nelson Mandela said it
long ago in 2004 that food genius are.
00:43:22
In filing when he was
addressing the International
00:43:27
a society conference he said their
world has made a defeating h.l.v.
00:43:33
It's their project and this
00:43:35
a blazing. But she be remained largely
ignored and he warned that there is no way
00:43:41
the world will be able to eradicate each
and eats if it continues to can all TB
00:43:47
They must you know where to get so I have
just informed you that we have lives near
00:43:54
reduce the incidence of TB in TB death by
putting the well because program on each
00:44:00
i.v.
00:44:01
And we also know that if we put the well
because program pointed in TB We are at
00:44:07
the same time dealing with each and he
eats Why because. When people are HIV
00:44:13
positive they are jealous of Kentucky
in TB increases by 300 percent.
00:44:20
And when people have called c.
00:44:23
Because he is from gold mining their chances
increase by 600 percent when people
00:44:29
are both age and inquisitive and have good
sequences their child is increased by
00:44:34
1800 percent. Then comes non-communicable
diseases which are also exploding as you
00:44:40
know when people are. Diabetic
jazz hands of Kentucky g.p.
00:44:45
Increases by 500 percent so
this is an entirely Shishi b.g.
00:44:48
Oldest disease meaning you have got to take
all of them to get us now when we talk
00:44:53
about innovation in entrance into the canals
is the only thing and where do you see
00:44:58
the most pressing needs where should we
have more in terms of innovation I would
00:45:04
looking into prevention treatment
but if you take well you can lay
00:45:08
a couple of things to remember G.P.'s
allegedly been ignored for many years because
00:45:12
we thought we have defeated and that's why
India and I said because he's not the
00:45:17
drama queen it kills very silently but
she's huge numbers which nobody can notice
00:45:23
and that's why it was largely ignored I
mean look with others of technology how do
00:45:29
we explain the fact that for the past 50
years we've been that most of men will be
00:45:33
teaching t.v.
00:45:34
With this even tracks no advice. Since the
doubling in the last minute I just knew
00:45:40
in the PIs 3 to 5 years but for the past
50 years we using this interact how do we
00:45:45
explain that says 1800. 1800
you understand that we'll be
00:45:52
using microscope beach that Misty b.g.
00:45:54
An expert told me I live. In this defeat
in South Africa we introduced in 2011
00:46:01
any tossing game changer in the way deep
is diagnosed but all these many years what
00:46:06
was it being so we need innovation
for new diagnostic innovations for
00:46:13
new drugs above anything everything
else we need innovation for
00:46:18
a vaccine once we get
the vaccine it will be
00:46:21
a key game changer because
the present vaccine p.c.t.
00:46:26
Have been there if I'm not mistaken for 90
years now and there is that starting not
00:46:31
to be shaken if by the. Simple when you
look at the future for the fight against
00:46:38
it to make losses in
stuff Africa do you have
00:46:42
a sense of optimism and to what extent
would you say is that yes I have
00:46:47
a sense of optimism because we are seeing
the results rather bored 2006 syringa
00:46:54
1000 people with tables keeping annually
defeat is down to 33000 I mean does
00:47:00
a dramatic drop and the drop precipitated
when we meet as I said when we put up
00:47:07
the well because until Toradol program so
we as he Progress Action and of course
00:47:13
the right to be happy we are also happy
while we're still calling for new
00:47:18
innovations I've just told you about it I
believe if Formica drug resistant TB be
00:47:25
fully doubling people who are multi-drug
resistant TB had to get any injection
00:47:31
every single day for
00:47:33
a period of 18 months just pick yourself
India. Who's in with the somebody has to
00:47:38
be about and that must have been for 18
months past trauma that's actually trauma
00:47:45
then secondly apart from the trauma people
that injection used to use the hearing
00:47:52
so you've got to decide between your legs
when you hear it is going to treat your
00:47:56
hearing for your life obviously because you
like to meet but still the introduction
00:48:01
of the troubling old those 2 has been
eliminated people no longer have to be put
00:48:06
everything the. Injection is no longer
the sun and people don't have to move to
00:48:11
a hearing so these are
things that are bringing
00:48:14
a lot of hope and I've told you that 60
percent of the people in the double into
00:48:19
but these are the feet but also people
injured we put it if they are put on what we
00:48:24
call eyes on as you
prevent it if there are
00:48:27
a peach 50 percent of the people are on
that are also in South Africa meaning
00:48:34
people each Are you positive we are we are
cutting that vulnerability from Kentucky
00:48:38
g.p.
00:48:39
So all of these advances makes one very
great then finally and this is that they're
00:48:44
going to be being on
00:48:46
a high level meeting on tuberculosis What
are your hopes in terms of outcomes from
00:48:51
this well as I said. There
are 5 asks Which you for
00:48:58
a agreed upon when you could she did that
the heads of states must agree to strive
00:49:04
Ascalon be able to measure know all of them
but the main one. Is that President Lee
00:49:11
It is estimated that there are
10000000 people of good g.p.
00:49:15
But only 6000000 are no globally and one
teacher means the other 4000000 are not
00:49:21
known but we know that they they're called
to misinform meet you now each country
00:49:27
has got each going contribution to that
missing 4000000 I know in my country in
00:49:31
South Africa is about 160000 people
who are. I miss you but you know that
00:49:38
in the present with g.p.
00:49:40
Has got the capacity but
00:49:42
a petition to ensure Tristin are in the
left just multiply those she goes off to
00:49:48
look good no they're busy infecting others
so the heads of state must help us to
00:49:53
find the missing family whom I don't the
well get to do want me. Figure in this
00:50:00
issue of innovation decision in
00:50:02
a vision they must get by his methods as
it states what are the new innovation
00:50:07
where are they resources to come up with
those new innovation and understanding
00:50:11
that one of the major innovations
is vaccine can we find
00:50:15
a vaccine for TB that'll be
00:50:18
a game changer absolutely keep the change
going is them with an aging thank you so

00:52:38
Voice of America reporter Carole Pearson
has an overview on the global fight
00:52:42
against TB last year tuberculosis killed
more people than any other communicable
00:52:48
disease more than 1300000 men women and
children yet experts say countries are not
00:52:54
providing enough money
to contain TB $1.00 u.n.
00:52:59
Official said an additional $13000000000.00
per year is needed to get the disease
00:53:05
under control the World Health Organization
estimates that $10000000.00 people who
00:53:10
become infected each year live mostly in
poor countries with limited access to
00:53:15
healthcare w.h.o.
00:53:17
Director General Dr Ted draws upon the
braces told the assembly that partnership is
00:53:24
vital to end the disease
w.h.o. Plans to lead u.n.
00:53:28
Efforts to support governments
and other partners to drive
00:53:32
a faster response to TB. Most
patients can be cured with
00:53:37
a 6 month treatment program but as world
leaders told the assembly medication is
00:53:42
expensive and the stigma associated with
TB interferes with getting people screened
00:53:48
and treated Nandita Venkatesan
00:53:52
a young woman from India told the gathering
about the toll the disease has taken on
00:53:57
her life she got t.b.
00:53:59
More than once including
00:54:01
a drug resistant variety Venkatesan said
getting cured involved hospital stays 6
00:54:07
surgeries and negative reactions to the
medicine that was supposed to cure her just
00:54:13
days before the high level meeting the
World Health Organization released its
00:54:17
annual TB report it found cases among all
age groups and in all countries 2 thirds
00:54:24
of the cases were in just 8 countries India
Pakistan Bangladesh China Indonesia the
00:54:31
Philippines South Africa and Nigeria
the meeting ended with the adoption of
00:54:37
a declaration intended to strengthen
action and investments for ending TB and
00:54:43
saving millions of lives
